The most common injuries include:

Head Trauma:
Head injuries typically cause dizziness, nausea, memory issues and blurred vision.

Broken Bones:
You are likely entitled to substantial financial compensation if you broke a bone during a scooter accident

Back Pain:
Back pain is another common injury experienced by almost all accident victims.

Victims in scooter accidents frequently ask how much their injury claim is worth. There are no hard and fast rules about the value of your injury claim. As a general rule, the total value of your injuries is left up to a jury to determine.

That said, a powerful legal team experienced in scooter accidents gives you the best chance of receiving the compensation that you deserve without a lengthy delay waiting for a jury trial. An experienced injury lawyer will demand substantial compensation from the insurance company using your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, the agony that you endured.

Injuries:
The most important factor to determine the value of your bodily injury claim is the extent of your injuries. Generally, serious injuries are also accompanied by significant medical expenses.

It makes sense that a settlement for someone with serious injuries will be greater than a settlement for someone with only minor injuries. In theory, a settlement for a scooter injury victim is designed to compensate you for your pain and suffering, out of pocket expenses and time spent seeking medical treatment. The law calls this being “made whole” – or to put you in the place you were prior to the accident. Because the proceeds of your injury settlement are intended to make you whole, you will not be required to pay taxes on these funds.

Medical Bills:

Generally speaking, the more medical expenses that you incur due to your injures, the more your claim is worth. This is because substantial medical treatment is generally an indicator of severe injuries.

Sometimes, a serious injury will not be accompanied by expensive medical bills. An example of this is a broken bone. Scooter accident victims with broken bones will endure pain and suffering throughout a lengthy recovery; but there is relatively little medical treatment involved in this injury.

However, you cannot expect to be rewarded by accumulating unnecessary medical expenses. The insurance company will thoroughly your medical records and bills to make sure they are legitimate and directly related to your accident.

Pain and Suffering:

Pain and suffering is an important component of your injury claim. Yet, it is difficult to quantify exactly how much your pain and suffering is worth. The value of your pain and suffering is generally related to the amount of your medical expenses.

In some circumstances, your pain and suffering is not accurately reflected in your medical bills. Broken bones are a great example of such an injury. Generally broken bones are very painful injuries that significantly disrupt daily life. Yet, this type of injury rarely requires continuous medical treatment to heal. In this circumstance, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer to negotiate the true value of this injury – despite not incurring significant medical expenses.

Property Damage:

Property Damage is another component that may have an impact on the value of your settlement. Although this is not the most significant component of your injury claim, it is important to be aware how property damage can impact the value your injury claim.

If your scooter is damaged, you should always file a property damage claim to have it repaired. Naturally, an insurance adjuster will be skeptical if an injured party claims to have serious injuries resulting from an accident where there is no reported property damage.

Lost Wages:

Lost Wages are another component of the overall value of any injury claim. If you are unable to work and are not being paid, the law allows you to seek compensation for all wages lost due to your injuries. In some situations, lost wages may also include other financial benefits, such as bonuses.

The amount of your lost wage claim will be proven by your financial records and pay stubs that reflect your earnings leading up to your accident and after you were injured.

If you suffered a permanent injury that impacts your future earnings, we will pursue a claim for lost earning capacity. This is a special claim that applies if you will never recover to the extent necessary to be employed in the same capacity as you were prior to your accident. This type of claim is most prevalent in careers involving physical labor.
